Omega Boutique London. 😞
Apr 25, 2019,00:02 AM
I like omega. I really do. I have owned quite a few and have one in my humble collection today. I want a dark side of the moon or the moon phase speedy and a relative of mine is really interested in the 1948 so on a recent trip to London the Omega Boutique was on our “must do” list.
I was told the Oxford Street Boutique is the one to go to as it’s one of the larger ones and “may” have a 1948 to see !
So we walk in and have that feeling we walked into the wrong place. We were looked at by 3 staff but no one came over, no said hi, it was all very weird. My relative went over to a guy behind the counter and asked “ do you have a 1948” here I could see ? He whispered to a female colleague for a few seconds and we both heard her say “ yes we have one but he can’t see it “ the male assistant came back to us and told us “yes we have one but you can’t see it “
WHAT !!!!!!
Having now said that all we want to do is physically see it , not to try on or handle but can we see it. Eventually it was brought out in a large plastic box and we glimpsed it. I noticed the dark side and the moon phase and the Apollo speedy and said in a raised and excited voice “ look they have the two I would love to see”. The sales guy looked and me and smiled - WHAT ???
I asked could I see them and he just about let me.
As I said I like Omega but this was an awful experience and the whole time we felt unwanted and not welcome. Not what I wanted on a trip to London as this was on my to do list !!

Wanted to see the london edition and they said it’s avbl but sold and can’t show as it’s committed . They would not listen and finally I rolled up my sleeve and flaunted the breguet platinum tourby of mine and the game changed . Then I chose to walk out o...

and sad. I was in a nice short sleeved polo shirt and had a sea Dweller 43 on. Didn’t seem to make any difference
Unbelievable

I cannot understand why they are behaving like that. I remember to have read that also some other forum member some time ago wrote to have experienced similar reception while visiting in London and wanted to see in person the Omega 1948, I think he was ju...

I have been to the Omega Boutique on Bond Street on three occasions and not once have I received good service. For that reason I simply take my business elsewhere.
